Chemical fallout from East Palestine has spread across 16 states. Each new crisis distracts our attention from older ones. But we forget them at the peril of repeating them, for they all arise from a common source. That source is the corruption of politics by profit. We must not only create a culture of accountability, but of national excellence and mutual aid. Law is not enough. There will never be enough policemen and public interest lawyers to protect everyone from everything. But if we recreate in America a culture of mutual care, we won’t have to rely on the courts and law enforcement. Instead, we will once again strive – each in our own way -- to be the best American we can be, for the nation we all love. #Kennedy24
